Cirq seems to output 0 instead of |2> with qutrits
I am experimenting a bit with qutrits on Cirq and came across a problem: my output is 0 when it should be |2>.
I defined my qutrit as follows:

Is there a method to implement qutrit using qubits?
I want to implement 3 level system on a qubit quantum computer.
Currently I feel I can use 2 qubits and encode the states of a 3-level system as such
|0>=|00>, |1>=|01>, |2>=|10>
The ...

Is there another parameterization of a qutrit 3-level system, besides Gell-Mann?
Question:
Is there a parameterization of a a general qutrit 3-level system similar to:
$$\rho = \begin{bmatrix} p_1 & r_{12}e^{-i\phi_{12}} & r_{13}e^{-i\phi_{13}}\\ \cdot & p_2 & r_{...

Interpretation of Qudit measurement output in cirq
Here [+1] represents X gate for qutrit. How the Counter value is coming to 5? which is the measurement outcome(q0q1q2->102). Even for (q0q1q2->101) also counter value is 5.
In total, for this 3 ...

How to write the three-qubit GHZ state in the Pauli basis?
How can one write the GHZ state defined in Ket notation as $|\psi\rangle= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \left(|000\rangle + |111\rangle\right)$, in terms of Pauli matrices $\sigma_{1},\sigma_{2},\sigma_{3}$?

Can a triplet be a qutrit?
Original question
A triplet is a space that consist of three states that have the same total angular momentum (spin 1). If we restrict ourselves to a set of quantum gates that keep triplet states in ...

Can someone elaborate how to use Qutrits to do teleportation? And the unitary operation Bob needs to do? [duplicate]
I can understand doing teleportation by using qubits, however, I am stuck there when it comes to qutrits and the operation Bob needs to perform. Suppose Alice and Bob are sharing the most entangled ...

Can a single qutrit in superposition be considered entangled?
Often in quantum computing the idea of quantum superposition is introduced well before the concept of entanglement. I suspect this may be because our conception of (classical) computing privileges ...

How do we restrict to a limited number of dimensions, say 3 for qutrits, while using OAM states of light?
When a azimuthal phase $\mathrm{e}^{il\phi}$ is applied to gaussian beams having plane wavefront, they develop a corkscrew sort of structure and therefore possess an orbital angular momentum in ...
